Dystopia Version 1 Features

Postby Fuzzy » Wed Jan 17, 2007 2:33 am

Dystopia Version 1 is nearing completion. The team is putting the finishing touches on our full release and our wonderful supporters and testers are putting our release candidate builds through through their paces. If you want to help out, click here to find out how to become a supporter.

The best way to get a complete wrap up of what to expect from V1 is to listen to the interview which Lez from the Dystopia Mainframe conducted with Teddy, Team Dystopia's lead coder. You can grab it as either a 30meg ogg file or a 95meg mp3 file.

While you download, check out some of the highlight features you'll see in Dystopia Version 1.

7 levels featuring the assault game play sampled in the demo:

It's hilarious how when you do a news update Fuzzy, most of the forumites are asleep.

*Glomps Fuzzy*
HURRAH!
Falls to floor and lies there twitching and muttering "Vee one! Vee one! The nazi flying rocket-bomb is coming!"
Rain-slick streets with a sodium flare
Street lights shining with a midnight glare
It's an urban night!
Striding through the rain in the worst part of town
My head held high and my eyes cast down
It's an urban night!

That's okay!
Dystopia has the same classic taste with loads of new features, and NO SUGAR.
It's now easier to pick-up and learn than ever.
Even morons can play and enjoy Dystopia V1!

And we lied about the sugar, - you'll be a hyperactive moron.

Questions:

Postby Crane » Wed Jan 17, 2007 11:37 pm

Which is the new heavy gun in the picture? Second from the middle?
Now that V1 is nearing release, can you tell us the secret of the Gold Katana we saw in the trailer?
Will we get to hear more details like weapon/implant specs before release?

Also: I saw the beam of the Tesla Cannon in the trailer, and said it was a new gun, but everyone else just told me it was the Lightning Rod! HA HA, I WAS RIGHT! [/gloat]

It was the lightning rod. Tesla arcs don't look like the lightning rod beam.

Are you certain? It didn't look much like the Lightning Rod beam to me...
Still, you should know, I guess...
